Elegy for the assistant editor...


Oh my poor poor hands,
oh my poor poor eyes,
if only the drops would fall
the pain perhaps would subside.

The many hours re-naming files,
while the rest of the world,
gets on with their lives,
while inside I slowly die.

Was that slate 45 or 72?
Was that take 6 or merely 2?
and I just rhymed 2 with 2,
what's an assistant editor to do.

The progress bars grow ever longer
as the sun goes down and comes up again
if I have a budget next time
I'm definitely getting an assistant editor!
